Hansi Flick’s FC Barcelona<\/strong> will play their first official match at the Spotify Camp Nou<\/strong> 909 days after the stadium’s temporary closure for complete renovation. The return to the temple took a year longer than initially planned, but the TORNEM A CASA<\/a> (WE ARE COMING HOME) celebration occurs just before the club’s 126th anniversary<\/strong> and on the cusp of the decisive first part of the season<\/p> Bar\u00e7a will play a total of nine matches<\/a> in the last month of competition this 2025, four of them in the League. On matchday 13, the opponent will be Ernesto Valverde<\/strong>‘s Athletic Club<\/strong>, a team that is not going through its best moment and has gone more than two decades without winning in Catalonia.<\/p> The Basques have only managed one win in their last four tournament appearances and have fallen to 7th place with 17 points. The Catalans, on the other hand, can temporarily return to the top spot with a victory, awaiting what Real Madrid<\/strong> does on Sunday against Elche<\/strong>. For now, there are 3 points separating them<\/a><\/p> On Saturday, more than 45,000 culers will welcome the team back to Spotify Camp Nou. **The club preferred to wait for the Lateral to be ready** to reopen the stadium for both La Liga and Champions League matches, thus having a capacity similar to that of Montju\u00efc.<\/p> After almost a year and a half in the ‘magic mountain’, Bar\u00e7a returns home against a rival they have dominated in recent years. With Flick on the bench, the azulgranas have a perfect record of victories against Athletic in three appearances<\/strong>, with a balance of 7 goals for and only 1 against.<\/p> The team also turned the page after the defeat in the **Cl\u00e1sico** (2-1) and the slip-up in **Bruges** (3-3) with clear victories against Elche (3-1)<\/a> and Celta (2-4)<\/a>, the latter without defensive troubles in the second half. Valverde’s team, on the other hand, has already lost in five league matches and three Champions League appearances. Furthermore, they haven’t won in Catalonia since 2001<\/p>
Bar\u00e7a wants a full party on their return to Spotify Camp Nou<\/h2>
